Young Smith time governor of the genea

00:00:49,19 --> 00:00:55,69
fifteen hundred seventy nine the son of a
well to do tenant farmer intended to free

00:00:55,69 --> 00:01:02,40
school in the nearby village of over. But
the Latin lesson in edited from a doctor.

4
00:01:02,42 --> 00:01:04,47
Must've seen done badly done.

5
00:01:05,16 --> 00:01:08,83
Well we know by his own account
that at the age of thirteen.

6
00:01:09,18 --> 00:01:14,54
He sold a satchel box and already had
been attending secretly to get to say.

7
00:01:15,38 --> 00:01:21,95
Secretly to get to see this with the
dream of many an English yeoman sun the

8
00:01:21,96 --> 00:01:28,84
age of colonize a nation was dawning bronze
had vast plains in the New World Canada

9
00:01:28,85 --> 00:01:30,39
the Great Lakes country.

10
00:01:30,57 --> 00:01:35,35
The Mississippi Valley Spain was
exploiting the incredible wealth of Peru

11
00:01:35,35 --> 00:01:39,16
and Mexico but England had
little to show for Africa.

12
00:01:39,27 --> 00:01:44,64
Although many an expedition to drop down
the mess from London in sixteen hundred

13
00:01:44,64 --> 00:01:49,35
three fifteen years after the
defeat of the Spanish Armada.

14
00:01:49,37 --> 00:01:54,44
There was still no permanent English
colony in America but in spite of failure.

15
00:01:54,47 --> 00:01:57,43
England's colonial see
that had in no wise abated

16
00:01:57,43 --> 00:01:59,92
and London was at the very center of the.

17
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:06,29
Latest scheme to plant a colony in Virginia
to London in sixteen hundred three.

18
00:02:07,51 --> 00:02:11,90
John Smith. Now Captain
John Smith and jealously

19
00:02:11,90 --> 00:02:15,44
and see success you still
enticed to get the power

20
00:02:15,44 --> 00:02:21,75
and the power alone go gentle and
untold riches lie the silence

21
00:02:21,75 --> 00:02:26,10
and told hard work. I want that
none of us don't get to Newport.

22
00:02:26,39 --> 00:02:28,34
But risk content on the skull.

23
00:02:28,42 --> 00:02:29,78
We have able men

24
00:02:31,10 --> 00:02:35,87
that enough to transport
us to food from Virginia.

25
00:02:35,89 --> 00:02:42,08
Miles to Gulf no one here who
dreamed it was discovered that.

26
00:02:42,09 --> 00:02:47,37
If I may say so myself. I have no
little experience administrator.

27
00:02:49,31 --> 00:02:49,32
Oh

28
00:02:50,64 --> 00:02:56,47
and we have going to burn out a double
soldier Captain drama Smith the young very

29
00:02:56,47 --> 00:03:00,54
young in years has already covered himself
with glory fighting the intell to

30
00:03:02,00 --> 00:03:04,32
everyone here because this is
Captain you're part of our lives.

31
00:03:04,50 --> 00:03:07,57
I'm not the government

32
00:03:10,80 --> 00:03:15,44
but I do not know this gentleman.
This is must again be a lot of time.

33
00:03:16,62 --> 00:03:20,47
The gentleman was just
trying to having seen.

34
00:03:20,49 --> 00:03:25,49
And I suppose you told Master Archer
of the other gentleman in our ranks.

35
00:03:25,51 --> 00:03:30,82
The wastrels a soft handed
superfluous sons of small squires

36
00:03:30,82 --> 00:03:37,79
and the like you consider them months fit
for this undertaking Captain many of them.

37
00:03:38,47 --> 00:03:40,43
Thank you consider only daughter

38
00:03:40,43 --> 00:03:46,02
and kept to myself For example I trust

39
00:03:46,02 --> 00:03:50,01
that you are master Archer.

40
00:03:50,03 --> 00:03:52,49
For there will be no
taverns where we are going

41
00:03:54,29 --> 00:03:59,72
and no friendly innkeeper and the
savages can kill just as readily.

42
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:02,35
Then a musket ball. Captain

43
00:04:03,11 --> 00:04:06,65
but come away with a smell of
gold are going to look tough

44
00:04:07,81 --> 00:04:13,89
but I'll still hold us only paradise.

45
00:04:14,99 --> 00:04:25,22
Regina junior.

46
00:04:32,58 --> 00:04:39,34
Gentlemen I know not how to address
you on this momentous occasion

47
00:04:40,51 --> 00:04:46,08
model you said all sales for the new
work was that they were going with you

48
00:04:47,32 --> 00:04:52,76
but unfortunately some stayed behind to
care for matters in this quarter so be it.

49
00:04:53,68 --> 00:04:57,65
You know well your purposes in this
venture. I need not rehearse them.

50
00:04:59,11 --> 00:05:03,89
However true there are which you must not
slide in your brave efforts to establish

51
00:05:03,89 --> 00:05:08,50
the plantation and to see
Fischer as they be these.

52
00:05:09,86 --> 00:05:15,61
That's plan to search for the lost colonists
sent out by the water rather more than

53
00:05:15,61 --> 00:05:19,14
one hundred English souls
who disappeared into

54
00:05:19,14 --> 00:05:25,54
that Will is leaving not a wreck
behind and secondly to search out

55
00:05:25,54 --> 00:05:32,03
that lucid passage to the Indians this
above all to search out the Northwest

56
00:05:32,03 --> 00:05:35,35
Passage. And lastly.

57
00:05:37,33 --> 00:05:39,52
Have I covered all that was the box.

58
00:05:40,33 --> 00:05:47,19
Oh yes of course the box this box
gentleman contains a names of the

59
00:05:47,19 --> 00:05:50,91
eight men we have selected to be the
ruling members of the colonies.

60
00:05:52,12 --> 00:05:59,08
This marks gentleman the Sparks is
not to be a word until Virginia

61
00:05:59,08 --> 00:05:59,65
is reached.

62
00:06:07,06 --> 00:06:09,48
It is not a work for
everyone to plant a colony

63
00:06:10,77 --> 00:06:15,42
but there is a great difference
between saying during that road.

64
00:06:15,45 --> 00:06:21,52
John Smith Some time later the boys deeply
unpopular opinions early in the morning

65
00:06:22,72 --> 00:06:23,33
when it is certain

66
00:06:23,33 --> 00:06:28,81
that from the day of sailing he made many
enemies enemies who as the expedition

67
00:06:28,81 --> 00:06:34,19
left the Canary Islands to the West Indies
planted not only to deprive him of his

68
00:06:34,19 --> 00:06:40,42
reputation that of his life as
much as by his devious plottings

69
00:06:40,42 --> 00:06:46,07
and intrigue he had think tended from the
first to usurp the government to murder

70
00:06:46,07 --> 00:06:47,00
the leaders of the expedition

71
00:06:47,77 --> 00:06:53,25
and make himself king of the new word
sentence has been duly passed upon Captain

72
00:06:53,25 --> 00:06:53,89
John Smith

73
00:06:53,89 --> 00:06:59,86
that he should be hanged by the neck until
dead has a prisoner anything to say

74
00:06:59,86 --> 00:07:04,46
before this sentence is carried out the
prisoner must have had much to say indeed

75
00:07:04,46 --> 00:07:05,41
that history

76
00:07:05,41 --> 00:07:09,81
and left as only Smith's very brief account
of the incident here around the island

77
00:07:09,81 --> 00:07:15,61
of never apparent gallows was made the
Captain Smith whom they were intended

78
00:07:16,68 --> 00:07:18,30
could not be persuaded to use them.

79
00:07:26,04 --> 00:07:27,00
April twenty sixth.

80
00:07:27,20 --> 00:07:46,38
Sixteen hundred seven the coast
of Virginia was sighted gentleman

81
00:07:47,17 --> 00:07:51,67
the members of the council
Master Edward Maria Wingfield

82
00:07:54,01 --> 00:07:59,43
Captain bustling new Gosnold
Captain John. Rectus.

83
00:08:01,15 --> 00:08:03,77
Master George Kendall.

84
00:08:03,79 --> 00:08:09,26
CAPTAIN JOHN MARTIN And
Captain John Smith.

85
00:08:15,16 --> 00:08:16,49
May thirteenth sixteen hundred.

86
00:08:18,34 --> 00:08:22,26
Aside from the colony was selected forty
miles up the James River yesterday

87
00:08:23,56 --> 00:08:28,45
and called Jamestown soon thereafter
crude shelters with rent up.

88
00:08:29,05 --> 00:08:33,13
But the council president had strict
orders against building fortifications

89
00:08:34,56 --> 00:08:39,50
remember then it will be no exercise
Tom's story to force the case is built.

90
00:08:40,71 --> 00:08:42,61
Not for the savages the
show's host of the day.

91
00:08:42,79 --> 00:08:44,13
Yes Must we feel

92
00:08:52,56 --> 00:08:58,98
that the sixth of August.
Sixteen hundred and seven.

93
00:08:59,80 --> 00:09:04,53
George given by the savages.

94
00:09:05,93 --> 00:09:10,32
The ninety day died John as
they are the bloody flecks.

95
00:09:13,07 --> 00:09:19,00
Men are being destroyed with cruel
diseases a swelling Six's burning fevers

96
00:09:19,87 --> 00:09:48,44
and by war for the most
part dying of man having.

97
00:09:54,48 --> 00:09:59,80
The I don't know what is the meaning of
this kind to change. The meaning is.

98
00:10:00,00 --> 00:10:06,77
Quite clear to me President feels
these these provisions for my

99
00:10:06,77 --> 00:10:10,70
privates all others who brought private
provisions from England have long since

100
00:10:10,70 --> 00:10:14,06
turned them over to the common
stock that does not concern me

101
00:10:15,30 --> 00:10:19,38
that it well Master Wingfield from this
moment forward you are relieved of such

102
00:10:19,38 --> 00:10:22,86
fixation. What you mean you're
going back. Captain Smith.

103
00:10:22,88 --> 00:10:25,80
I mean Master Archer the by
unanimous vote of the council.

104
00:10:26,68 --> 00:10:29,05
We have deposed master
Wingfield US president.

105
00:10:29,10 --> 00:10:31,61
You cannot do that to me I think we can.

106
00:10:35,47 --> 00:10:39,25
I was a small when this was a constant arise
from England we mean to send you back.

107
00:10:39,45 --> 00:10:40,06
Captain Smith

108
00:10:40,06 --> 00:10:44,68
and once you refuse to allow fortifications
we pay dearly for your follies.

109
00:10:44,88 --> 00:10:49,02
I was under orders from the council in
London the consul in London there is nothing

110
00:10:49,02 --> 00:10:51,29
about problems in Virginia.

111
00:10:51,31 --> 00:10:56,08
Your wasted our energies in searching
for Golden pearls I had my own good

112
00:10:56,08 --> 00:11:01,43
but now if I don't want it by doing
so you are so reduced this colony

113
00:11:02,28 --> 00:11:05,93
that those of us still left alive
are scarce able to bury the dead.

114
00:11:05,95 --> 00:11:08,36
Very well but I agree.

115
00:11:09,31 --> 00:11:16,10
I think we should abandon this
colonizing attempt to abandon the story

116
00:11:16,10 --> 00:11:22,08
feel Jamestown shall not be abandoned.

117
00:11:26,62 --> 00:11:31,42
Captain Smith in that desperate extremity
went to search the country for trade

118
00:11:32,53 --> 00:11:35,36
but nothing to persuade
him to starve themselves

119
00:11:36,81 --> 00:11:42,98
or his men seldom returned empty handed
from his many trading expedition

120
00:11:44,51 --> 00:11:46,16
and even his wares Denham is agreed

121
00:11:46,16 --> 00:11:52,83
that the corn which he brought back saved
the colonists from starvation with the

122
00:11:52,83 --> 00:11:58,42
storehouses the Danes now will
stop at the colonists to work.

123
00:12:04,02 --> 00:12:04,55
But he was determined

124
00:12:04,55 --> 00:12:10,49
that each man in the colony must abide
by one law see the will not work

125
00:12:11,32 --> 00:12:15,20
shall not eat. The went to the potted

126
00:12:15,20 --> 00:12:19,90
and spring come Smith left
before to perform his discovery.

127
00:12:20,35 --> 00:12:24,68
Smith and his companions made many
discoveries in and then the genius

128
00:12:26,26 --> 00:12:27,78
and though he was never to find

129
00:12:27,78 --> 00:12:33,95
that elusive passage to the indeed he was
to travel thousands of miles carefully

130
00:12:33,96 --> 00:12:35,58
man to the surrounding territory

131
00:12:37,21 --> 00:12:42,45
but on one of these expeditions travelling
inland for some considerable distance

132
00:12:42,45 --> 00:13:41,31
with only his Indian guide.

133
00:13:59,17 --> 00:13:59,46
And so.

134
00:14:00,00 --> 00:14:05,58
Having being ready with their clubs to
be done is bring Pocahontas the king's

135
00:14:05,58 --> 00:14:08,61
dearest daughter got his head in her arms

136
00:14:09,72 --> 00:14:20,59
and laid her own upon his
to save him from death.

137
00:14:21,83 --> 00:14:27,56
In Jamestown they were all in
combustion. No better than a short bit.

138
00:14:27,58 --> 00:14:32,76
Plotted against him. Blood had gone
forward against Smith in his absence.

139
00:14:34,07 --> 00:14:38,77
But about his return he took swift action
against the chief plotter is old enemy.

140
00:14:38,79 --> 00:14:39,87
Gabriel larger

141
00:14:40,57 --> 00:14:52,04
and laid him by the heels till he
sent him to prison for England.

142
00:14:54,77 --> 00:14:59,31
But the same ship which is the take Archer
back had brought impossible orders from

143
00:14:59,31 --> 00:15:01,99
the council in London.

144
00:15:04,01 --> 00:15:04,35
And we would

145
00:15:17,52 --> 00:15:23,07
have to know what I was preparing my answer
for the fine gentleman of the London

146
00:15:23,07 --> 00:15:24,64
company.

147
00:15:24,65 --> 00:15:30,81
You can tell on the carrier there fantastical
orders to find gold to find Riley's

148
00:15:30,81 --> 00:15:35,51
last colonists to make
pick and glass and soap.

149
00:15:35,53 --> 00:15:40,85
Telemark out of these out once I've
made this colony self-supporting.

150
00:15:40,87 --> 00:15:42,17
And to do that I need.

151
00:15:42,78 --> 00:15:49,20
Carpenters masons farmers diggers
out of trees honest lazy gentlemen

152
00:15:49,20 --> 00:15:50,63
and wastrels.

153
00:15:51,69 --> 00:15:54,79
The rest live from the London company
was not long in reaching the Junior.

154
00:15:56,18 --> 00:15:59,86
Fairwinds and born the Susan
Constant back and with.

155
00:16:00,00 --> 00:16:09,87
The council reply to Smith's rude answer.

156
00:16:14,60 --> 00:16:19,41
Captain Smith. Captain Smith.

157
00:16:19,63 --> 00:16:25,17
It seems it has fallen to my lot to
inform you all that you are details.

158
00:16:25,18 --> 00:16:31,50
It seems the London company has at long
last been reorganised below in Delaware is

159
00:16:31,50 --> 00:16:35,77
that is was that you know that
with ninety five hundred colonists

160
00:16:35,77 --> 00:16:39,60
and you Captain Smith I hereby depôt.

161
00:16:40,38 --> 00:16:44,87
You have letters to this effect letters
will arrive with a lot Delaware.

162
00:16:45,38 --> 00:16:47,77
Then we shall await Mullard Delaware.

163
00:16:47,94 --> 00:16:51,86
There are some thirty old colonists
left alive master Archer

164
00:16:52,82 --> 00:16:53,91
and they've been through so much.

165
00:16:56,65 --> 00:17:00,58
Burning fevers and starvation
the terror of Indian attacks

166
00:17:00,58 --> 00:17:03,99
and the deaths of their dearest
friends that are afraid of nothing

167
00:17:03,99 --> 00:17:10,78
and never Jaimie to a man. And until
Delaware arrives with official orders.

168
00:17:10,90 --> 00:17:12,88
I am still president of this company

169
00:17:13,74 --> 00:17:18,44
and if you try any of your scandalous
tricks I'll have you hang by the heels just

170
00:17:18,44 --> 00:17:22,41
as you once tried to hang
me by the neck by me.

171
00:17:22,42 --> 00:17:25,70
Well Hartcher I will not fail

172
00:17:33,29 --> 00:17:37,87
that soon there after returning from an
expedition up the James River to discover a

173
00:17:37,87 --> 00:17:43,28
new site for the colony Smith was
grievously wounded by a gunpowder explosion

174
00:17:49,21 --> 00:17:54,02
did I just hear it out there now with this
Jack horseplay came down get it over.

175
00:17:54,07 --> 00:17:56,26
We don't know if he's pronounced Delaware.

176
00:17:56,37 --> 00:17:59,42
All right still here
take command and I must.

177
00:18:01,32 --> 00:18:07,16
Let's go back to England this excavation

178
00:18:10,17 --> 00:18:13,63
work is finished. And so.

179
00:18:15,09 --> 00:18:20,18
Sixteen hundred nine after more
than two years in the wilderness.

180
00:18:20,20 --> 00:18:25,73
Captain John Smith returned
to England about his work

181
00:18:25,73 --> 00:18:27,38
and counted.

182
00:18:27,40 --> 00:18:28,31
He had explored

183
00:18:28,31 --> 00:18:34,96
and mapped the colony together
setting an example for those

184
00:18:37,26 --> 00:18:38,06
without his leadership

185
00:18:39,30 --> 00:18:46,24
when he left became the
greatest tribute to John Smith

186
00:18:46,99 --> 00:18:52,70
was written by one of the
pitifully few survivors.

187
00:18:53,63 --> 00:18:59,12
Last night justices first guided

188
00:19:00,25 --> 00:19:07,15
experiences where they

189
00:19:07,15 --> 00:19:11,39
would never see as one

190
00:19:14,21 --> 00:19:17,96
by any means whose adventure.

191
00:19:18,02 --> 00:19:21,55
Well lives lost.
